This article examines the 804 decision by Charlemagne to cede territory beyond the Elbe to the Slavic confederacy known as the Abodrites. In so doing Charlemagne attempted to create a stable buffer along the Carolingian empire's northern border, in large part as security against the growing power of the Danes. Using textual and archaeological evidence this article demonstrates the ways in which the Abodrite buffer between the Franks and Danes influenced the political and cultural development of the Slavs and set the stage for a series of major political showdowns in the first three decades of the ninth century.

边界之间：跨Elben世界中的弗兰克斯，丹尼斯和Abodrites，最高达827

本文考察了查理曼大帝（804）决定将易北河以外的领土割让给斯拉夫同盟（Abodrites）。为此，查理曼大帝试图在加洛林帝国的北部边界沿线建立一个稳定的缓冲区，这在很大程度上是为了抵御丹麦人日益强大的力量。本文使用文字和考古学证据，展示了法兰克人和丹麦人之间的Abodrite缓冲区如何影响斯拉夫人的政治和文化发展，并为九世纪前三十年的一系列重大政治摊牌奠定了基础。
